What wild creature is more accessible to our eyes and ears, as close to us and everyone in the world, as universal as a bird?” — David Attenboroug Bird houses become family project By Lorna Hart Special to OVP RACINE — Kimberly Wolfe is a preschool teacher at the Carleton School, and she and her husband Jamie were adjusting to life without their children at home: son Tyler is working in Pennsylvania, and daughters Elizabeth and Emma have been in college at Kent State. Things changed with the arrival of COVID-19; Elizabeth and Emma came home from college, and Wolfe is working from home. She said that there are a lot of challenges trying to teach and communicate with preschoolers, especially those with disabilities. “I am at my computer every day communicating with students and their families, reading, sending educational videos, trying to help them continue their progress… but it is difficult to not be in the classroom, to not be able to work with them in person.” When Wolfe is not teaching, she is photographing wild flowers, See LOCKDOWN | 4 GAHS to hold virtual graduation By Dean Wright deanwright@aimmediamidwest. com very clear that we could do nothing outside in a stadium, large group ceremonial observations, can’t do that.

Wright said he is working with Gallipolis municipal government to make arrangements and the Gallia Health Department. “We feel our seniors deserve closure…,” said COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine announced Tuesday he’s cutting $775 million from the state budget in the next two months because of plummeting revenue due to the pandemic. The spending reductions are necessary now to avoid worse cuts down the road, and will affect every state agency except the prisons department, the Republican governor said. The state went from running $200 million ahead in revenue estimates in February to the nearly three-quarter billion drop last month, DeWine said. The governor said he’s not tapping Ohio’s $2.7 billion rainy day fund until the new fiscal year beginning in July. The budget can be balanced now with cuts, and the rainy day money will be needed later this year and next, he said. “This rain is not a passing spring shower,” DeWine said. The budget slashing includes $355 million for K-12 schools and $110 million for higher education, and $210 million from the state Medicaid program, which provides health care for poor children and families.

The board approved a proclamation in recognition of National Day of Prayer which is to take place on Thursday. This is the 29th annual National Day of Prayer celebration in Meigs County. As in the past, the event will take place at 11:30 a.m. on Thursday at the Meigs County Courthouse with the event to be broadcast on the Meigs County National Day of Prayer Facebook GALLIPOLIS — Gallipolis City Schools Superintendent Craig Wright announced Tuesday via a Facebook video that Gallia Academy High School would be holding its graduation virtually on May 22 at 7 p.m. “We’re going to do this with a virtual graduation and a possibility of a parade prior to the virtual graduation,” said Wright. “This is not how I wanted to handle this situation. However, it’s a situation we’re in. The governor last week passed very strict guidelines on what we could do. They also made it page. The proclamation states, Our Nation’s motto ‘In God We Trust’ was not chosen lightly. It reflects a basic recognition that there is a divine authority in the universe to which this nation owes homage. Throughout our history Americans have put their faith in God and no one can doubt that we have been blessed for it. The earliest settlers of this land came in search of religious freedom. Landing on a desolate shoreline, they established a spiritual foundation that has served us ever since. It was the hard work of our people, the freedom they enjoyed and their faith in God that built this country and made it the envy of See GAHS | 4 the world. In all of our great cities and towns evidence of the faith of our people is found: houses of worship of every denomination are among the oldest structures. Prayer is today as powerful a force in our Nation as it has ever been. We as a Nation should never forget this source of strength. And while recognizing that the freedom to choose a Godly path is the essence of liberty, as a Nation we cannot but hope that more of our citizens would, through prayer, come into a closer relationship with their Maker. Now, therefore, we, the Meigs County Commissioners, do hereby proclaim Thursday, May 7th, 2020, a day of Prayer in Meigs See CONTRACTS | 5 �OBITUARIES/NEWS 2 Wednesday, May 6, 2020 OBITUARIES ALICE M.

Sixty-five players would earn at least $100,000 each time their team wins or loses if the pandemic-delayed major league season gets underway, according to an analysis of their contracts by The Associated Press. Cole is scheduled to earn $222,222 for each game of a 162-game season. NEW YORK (AP) — Mike Trout and Gerrit Cole aren’t the only major leaguers with a big financial incentive to get back on the field. While they head a starry quartet that would take in more than $200,000 per game, 65 players would earn at least $100,000 each time their team wins or loses if the pandemicdelayed major league season get under way, according to an analysis of their contracts by The Associated Press. Most rookies and those making the minimum would get nearly $3,500 each. Every game added to the big league schedule earns players about $24 million in aggregate. Clubs would benefit, too, with huge revenue streams flowing from regional sports networks and national broadcast contracts. A contentious negotiation is likely if Major League Baseball asks the players’ association to accept salary cuts to compensate for competing in empty ballparks. “I would need to be fully informed about revenue and things like that before I would decide if I think it’s fair for us to do that,” Washington first baseman Ryan Zimmerman said. “I know the owners make a lot of money. … We’re in such a unique situation. People want to play. People want to get back on the field.” “If there ever was a time where two sides that have obviously argued in the past could get along and get things done, now would be the time,” he added. “That being said, I’m not going to sit here and say the players would be willing to do that. I don’t even know if I would be willing to do that.” Zimmerman, 35 and closer to the end of his career than the beginning, has a $2 million salary and would get $12,346 per game. Trout, the 28-year-old Los Angeles Angels star who has won three AL MVP awards, has a $36 million salary. He is tied for the major league high with Cole, the 29-year-old right-hander who left Houston as a free agent to sign with the New York Yankees. That works out to $222,222 for each game See TROUT | 8 MLB average at around $4.4M for 5th year in row NEW YORK (AP) — Major League Baseball’s average salary ahead of a postponed opening day remained at around $4.4 million for the fifth straight season, according to a study of contracts by The Associated Press. Following an offseason when Gerrit Cole, Stephen Strasburg, Anthony Rendon and Christian Yelich all agreed to $200 million-plus deals, the flattened salary curve is evidence of a shrinking portion of the pie for baseball’s middle class. The stagnant stretch is unprecedented since the freeagent era dawned in 1976. And that is before taking into account any decrease caused by a shortened season in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic. In a throwback, the New York Yankees top payrolls for the first time since 2013 and tower over the Pittsburgh Pirates at $54 million — the lowest of any big league team in six years. Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred remains confident there will be a season but is unsure when health conditions will allow training to resume.

GAHS lands 15 on All-OVC track teams By Bryan Walters bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com #howicompete campaign launched by OHSAA By Tim Stried For Ohio Valley Publishing COLUMBUS, Ohio – Inspiring student-athletes to continue training during the coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic, the Ohio High School Athletic Association has launched the #howicompete campaign, which will collect and promote messages and videos posted by OHSAA member schools, media and the OHSAA’s allied organizations. With school facilities shuttered, student-athletes are not permitted to gather together, therefore the #howicompete campaign encourages training on their own at home and with instructions sent electronically by their school coaches. Student-athletes and teams are encouraged to set goals and compete against themselves and others while complying with social distancing guidelines. Content will be promoted through the OHSAA’s social media platforms (Twitter, Facebook and Instagram) on its handle @OHSAASports. “The health and safety of all Ohioans is our top priority, but we also want student-athletes to stay focused and motivated to pick up where they left off when school sports return,” said OHSAA Executive Director Jerry Snodgrass. “There are so many things that kids can do on their own or with their parents and siblings. Especially something like running and walking, which is a habit that can stay with them for a long time and keep them healthy as adults.” Organizations such as the Ohio high school coaches associations, Ohio Interscholastic Athletic Administrators Association (OIAAA) and many more are asked to help encourage and promote content from student-athletes and tag the OHSAA using #howicompete. The OHSAA is also excited to share this campaign in support of the Greater Columbus Sports Commission, which is encouraging stories from competitors whose resilience is helping them Live Forward during this unprecedented health crisis. Tim Stried is the Director of Communications for the OHSAA. CENTENARY, Ohio — It’s not a participation medal, but rather an honor for staying committed throughout the years.

Authentic Media Brands and 101 Studios announced on Tuesday that they will launch Sports Illustrated Studios as part of a joint venture between the two companies. The studio’s first project will be a docu-series entitled “Covers.” It will explore the stories behind the magazine’s most memorable cov- ers and what went into creating them. Five additional projects are expected to be announced over the next four weeks. MLB of the new coronavirus. MLB’s 2021 revenue also will be impacted, according to Manfred. Scott Boras, the sport’s most powerful agent, says the disparity in rate of increase should be addressed in collective bargaining for the labor deal that replaces the contract expiring in December 2021. “When the revenues are going up 15% and salaries are going up 1%, we’ve got to really calculate the rights valuation and look at it in a way that allows for those rights to be exercised differently,” he said. While there were 878 players on rosters and injured lists at the start of the 2019 season, there were 899 players in the latest AP survey because teams had not yet trimmed to the active limit. The limit goes up this year from 25 to 26, and there could be an additional roster expansion following the disrupted spring training, which would impact the average. Forty-four players are at $20 million or more, up from 39 last year and topped by Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout. The three-time AL MVP is at $38.5 million when a prorated share of his signing bonus is added to his $36 million salary. Cole is second at $36 million with the Yankees, followed by Washington pitcher Max Scherzer, who is at $35.9 million when factoring in his signing bonus and discounting deferred payments he won’t fully receive until 2028. There are 136 players earning at least $10 million, up from 122. After signing Cole, the Yankees boosted their projected payroll to a team record of nearly $242 million as of March 28, up from $207 million at the start of last season and topping the previous club mark set in 2016. That includes $21.9 million for released outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury that is being contested in a grievance. Boston topped payrolls the last two seasons and won a World Series title in 2018. The Los Angeles Dodgers had the highest payroll from 2014-17, ending the Yankees’ 15-year streak as baseball’s biggest spender. The Dodgers are second at roughly $222 million, up from $191 million last year, after acquiring centerfielder Mookie Betts and lefthander David Price from Boston. AL champion Houston is third at approximately $208 million, up from $158 million, followed by the Chicago Cubs at about $192 million, down from $209 million, and the Los Angeles Angels at roughly $181 million, up from $162 million. Pittsburgh cut its payroll from $77 million at the start of last season to a level not seen since Miami and Houston in 2014. Other teams near the bottom are Baltimore ($61 million), Tampa Bay ($69 million) and Miami ($71 million). Seattle is at about $116 million, which includes nearly $40 million dedicated to players no longer on the Mariners: Jay Bruce ($18.6 million), Edwin Encarnación ($8.3 million), Mike Leake ($5 million), Domingo Santana ($4 million) and Robinson Canó ($3.75 million). From page 7 on March 28 was $4,432,530, up 1.3% from $4,375,486 in the AP’s opening-day survey last year. The average remains below its record $4.45 million at the start of the 2017 season and has plateaued since stiffer luxury tax rates began for highpayroll teams. Going back to 2016, the average has increased just 1% over four offseasons, an average annual rise of 0.25%. The average went up 27% in the four years ending in 2012 and 9% in the four years through 2008. MLB revenue is estimated to have increased at close to a 4% annual rate in recent years, but will drop sharply this year because of the impact In the response to the Pandemic Outbreak of COVID-19, Gallia County Department of Job and Family Services will make assistance available to families affected by this health crisis.

Colorado third baseman Nolan Arenado is third at $216,049 per game, followed by Houston right-hander Justin Verlander at $203,704. Next is lefthander David Price, acquired by the Los Angeles Dodgers from Boston in February, at $197,531. Lower down the salary scale, 392 of the approximately 900 players on active rosters and injured lists earn at least $10,000 a game, including 300 at $20,000 or more, 259 at $25,000 or more, 161 at $50,000 or higher and 100 at $75,000 or above. Opening day was scheduled for March 26, but has been delayed indefinitely due to the new coronavirus pandemic. Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred is confident the 2020 season will start at some point, and MLB and the union have discussed possibilities that include playing in empty ballparks and neutral sites. As part of a March deal between MLB and the union, players gained a key objective in bargaining: If no games are played, each player would get the same amount of service time this year as he earned in 2019. As part of the deal, teams are advancing $170 million in salary but players give up claims to any more if the season is scrapped. That leaves each player to earn a maximum $260,000, $60,000, $30,000 or $16,500, depending on his contract, if there is a missed season. Players agreed to prorate their salaries based on actual games played. Signing bonuses are guaranteed, so the amount of money a player stands to earn this year is calculated by taking his 2020 salary, dividing by 162 (the original total of games scheduled) and multiplying by total of games remaining as of the revised opening day. If the season is later interrupted due to the contagion, the numerator becomes the total of games of a player’s team. Union leaders and some players contend that agreement covers terms of any reduced season, fans or not, and management points to a provision that it is only for games at regular ballparks with fans. The agreement calls for “good-faith” talks over neutral sites and games without fans, and Manfred says 40% of revenue comes from tickets and gate-related revenue such as parking and concessions. “Amongst Pirates players, I haven’t heard a single thing that suggests they aren’t really motivated to play,” Pittsburgh general manager Ben Cherington said. “When you have groups that are that motivated to find solutions, it probably heightens my optimism, because when groups are that motivated, you tend to find solutions.” Twenty-eight players were at the $563,500 minimum when rosters were frozen on March 28, which comes to $3,478 a game. There were 369 at $600,000 or less, which is $3,704 a game. The Los Angeles Dodgers have five players at $100,000 or more, the most in the majors. Just five teams have no players at $100,000: Arizona, Miami, Milwaukee, Pittsburgh and Tampa Bay. Dodgers pitcher Ross Stripling reached one of the most fortuitous deals of the winter. Eligible for arbitration for the first time, he agreed to a $2.1 million contract with an unusual twist for a one-year deal: $1.5 million was put into a signing bonus.
